Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I did both; truth be told, I don't think making the ATF spend 2 seconds on a response to a comment will make any more of difference than the petition.Originally Posted by spqrzilla
I wrote and called hundreds of times in the run-up to the CO elections and the D's went ahead and did what they jolly well wanted, no doubt rather amused at our efforts. Several of those people ended up being sent down the road due to a recall election. That was nice, but we don't have the recall-election option with the ATF, or with the great leader. I suspect the next two years will be somewhat unpleasant for those who think their voice affects how they are governed.
Yeah he started again today.....easier to buy a gun than fresh vegetables. Now comes another EO from him by passing the people.

Apparently the comment period is fake. This report says the ATF regulation guide published in Jan already had removed the exemption for M855.

Whoops, sorry for the repost.
I think we all need to write our reps once again and let them know about this little ATF fake out.
Ooops
BREAKING: ATF Claims M855 Ban Was a “Publishing Error”
Everyone stop getting their panties in a twist just yet.
ATF Press Release on recently revealed Regulation Guide Announcing M855 Ammo Ban:On Feb. 13, 2015, ATF released for public comment a proposed framework, including legal and technical analysis, to guide its determination on what ammunition is “primarily intended for sporting purposes” for purposes of granting exemptions to the Gun Control Act’s prohibition on Armor Piecing Ammunition. This proposed framework is posted for public comment only; no final decisions have been made as to its adoption . . .
Media reports have noted that the 2014 ATF Regulation Guide published online does not contain a listing of the exemptions for Armor Piercing Ammunition, and concluding that the absence of this listing indicates these exemptions have been rescinded.
Please be advised that ATF has not rescinded any Armor Piercing Ammunition exemption, and the fact they are not listed in the 2014 online edition of the regulations, was an error, which has no legal impact on the validity of the exemptions. The existing exemptions for armor piercing ammunition, which apply to 5.56 mm (.223) SS 109 and M855 projectiles (identified by a green coating on the projectile tip), and the U.S .30-06 M2AP projectile (identified by a black coating on the projectile tip), remain in effect.
The listing of Armor Piercing Ammunition exemptions can be found in the 2005 ATF Regulation Guide on page 166, which is posted here.
The 2014 Regulation Guide will be corrected in PDF format to include the listing of Armor Piercing Ammunition exemptions and posted shortly. The e-book/iBook version of the Regulation Guide will be corrected in the near future. ATF apologizes for any confusion caused by this publishing error.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...

Beat you to it Bert, BTW you get any good drugs there?

LOL, now what do I do with all this M855? I know the obvious answer is to shoot it but that just doesn't feel right.
Maybe over paint the green with black and up the price by 10X?
*Edit
Upon reading more closely it sound like the BATFE is saying that the ban wasn't already a done deal, not that they're not still planning on the ban. Is that everyone else's take on this?
